Claire couldn't believe her ears. These guys were unbelievable, they were willing to lose such an amount on just an ordinary dance.

It was bizarre even for people of such caliber so she was taken aback by Ryan’s response. If this was how they spent carelessly, Claire began to wonder how exactly rich people stayed rich.

“No, that wouldn't get enough people interested. I say we go bigger, let’s do five hundred thousand instead,” Ryan replied.

Mason smiled mischievously again and Claire wondered why. To him, It seemed he was going to win.

However, Claire was getting tired and wasn't sure how long she would last if she continued dancing at such a high level.

“I accept your challenge. However, I'm bored of this song. Ask the DJ to change it, and also set up everything before we dance. You're trending so we should get the minimum required number of viewers within seconds,” Mason said.

“On it, said Ryan,” walking away to where the DJ was and explaining everything to him. The DJ was surprised

    Claire felt nervous sitting beside Ryan in the backseat. She didn't know the kind of person he was. Even though their wedding was arranged, she thought he was still going to demand sex.It wouldn't be out of place if he demanded it anyway. After all, it was their wedding night, and it was clear she had no choice but to accept.The driver was driving very fast, and their bodies brushed each other several times, making her shiver. It was like he would grab her any moment from now, and the stench of beer on him wasn't helping matters.Earlier, Mason and she had won the dance, and Ryan hadn't been pleased about it. After Ryan lost, he whispered in Claire’s ear that a woman is supposed to help her husband and not bring him down.Claire had been terrified and unable to utter a word when he began to laugh suddenly. Still, she couldn't tell whether he was offended or not.Many rumors had been spread about Ryan, and the entire city knew he didn't value women. Today, she was beginning a new lif

    Claire woke up the next morning in a mansion. Although she had experienced wealth at its highest level in the last few days, once she opened my eyes that morning and saw the mansion in broad daylight, It was like she had gotten an immediate superior awareness.The mansion epitomized beauty, showing the inhabitants lived the best possible life. The bed alone was half the size of her former apartment, and the guest room given to her was bigger than the entirety of it.The walls were decorated with fine furniture, which probably cost thousands. Claire stood up to observe the rest of the room, and she wondered why the room needed a wardrobe when it was built with the idea of accommodating guests.Most people moving in would probably have their luggage with them, which was supposed to be more than enough.If this was a room meant for the guests that came to this house, Claire found herself wondering how large the size of the family members would be.This was a bit much for just about anyon

    Claire followed because there was nothing more to do, and she had no choice. They both went In and left the billionaire to his bodyguards.“Claire, I was impressed with your performance; I didn't know you were such a talented dancer. It was very interesting to watch your battle online. Don't tell anyone, but I was rooting for you, “ she said, saying the last part in whispers.Claire smiled, embarrassed after that moment. She had been very happy and satisfied when they won because of how it made Bethany feel.It turns out that betting higher than the boys was more dangerous than it seemed. Unlike them, who were guys and didn't care about anything, Bethany was not used to losing, and she was very angry, having to give away that huge amount of money to him for free.Claire had kept a straight face throughout the dance and afterward, but she had been laughing inside as the sight had been very funny.After the dance, Bethany had eyed her and left, showing her disgust. If only they had agre

    Claire blinked and punched her arm to make sure she was alive. It was like she had heard the world was coming to an end. Two million dollars was a lot of money and one she wasn't ready to handle.Although she had been lusting for power, she still felt that she was in trouble. With the amount she was given, she knew he would be asking her to do other things soon.“What are you up to?” Claire asked, getting ahold of herself.“That's no way to talk to your Dad or appreciate a gift. I wasn't sure that you would see through the wedding till the end. Even though you had rejected the money I initially offered, as a businessman, I can't let you make such an unreasonable choice,” Jason said.Claire bit her lip, she wanted to reject the money but all of a sudden, her mouth didn't belong to her. It was as though she had lost the ability to speak anymore.“To be clear, this doesn't make a difference to me. You're still an inconsiderable person who has no human feelings,” said Claire.“Whatever, I

    The door opened, and Claire sat and put her phone on the desk. In the large room, she felt like little.A lady walked in, pushing a tray of food. Claire hadn't ordered any food, so she was shocked by this, but she was even more surprised when she saw the next person who walked in.“Come quickly, you sloth. Do you think I have time for your laxity?” Said a voice from outside the door.Judging by the voice, Claire could tell it wasn't someone she had met before. It sounded more domineering and made her feel like she had to be on her guard.Claire certainly did, as the next person who walked in was Melissa Gold, Ryan’s Mom.Claire was taken aback when she walked in. She had met her once at the wedding but hadn't had a serious conversation with her.In truth, she hadn't had any conversations with her as Melissa was too busy with other activities.The only time they made eye contact was when she was dancing with Mason. At that moment, she had managed to catch her glance at her, and for a f

    Claire looked down shyly and forced a weak smile. Claire was also getting bored and had also been willing to get it all over with. Seeing Claire’s reluctance to answer the question, Melissa decided to brighten the mood with desserts on the tray.Melissa took some out of it and ate it. Melissa then signaled Claire to have some. Claire smiled and took some.She knew she would have to answer the question as soon as she finished the bite, so she ate as slowly as possible.“It's just as I expected. From your reaction, I can see that it's not going as well as you would like. That's disappointing, well, you see, my son has had a weird romantic life. Sometimes, I feel that he is gay and then doubt myself,” Melissa said.Claire was pleasantly surprised by what she had just heard as she paused amid a bite. Claire had not even considered such a possibility. If it were true, she would have much less to worry about.Claire began to feel more relaxed and could eat more calmly now until she heard t

    Claire was on her bed watching a movie when she heard a soft knock on the door. Claire listened again to ensure she had heard correctly, and she found out it was so.The knock came again, this time far louder than before. Oh no, who could it be knocking at this night?Claire checked the time; it was well past Ten. At such an hour, whoever could knock couldn't be up to any good.Claire remembered the day of the wedding and the things that had happened that day. As a result, many strange thoughts began to go through her mind.The man she had married was one who often got drunk and, from past experiences, could tell that drunk men were dangerous ones.Not only was he a drunkard, but he was a friend of Mason, which meant that he was a degenerate as well, or so she loved to believe.The knock came again; this time, Claire knew she had no choice but to allow the person in. Claire sighed and closed her eyes before letting the person in. When she saw who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief.

    “Why aren't you eating your food? Isn't it delicious enough?” he asked, making Claire turn around quickly.Claire wondered what kind of man he was. He had moved from his side of the table to behind her, and she hadn't even noticed.With such skills, he might have been a powerful assassin in his former life. Still, Claire had to get a hold of herself.She was still staring at him, who only looked at her food without shaking or moving. Looking at him, one might think he was seeing something relevant. Claire's thoughts were interrupted again when she heard his voice again. It seemed like he was always ready to surprise her when she least expected it.Claire tried to speak but found it extremely hard when she saw the look on his face. He didn't have the blank look anymore; he was smiling, which was even more surprising considering his words.“I asked you a question, girl,” he said.“Um, the food is good. The chefs are very experienced, and I can tell they have done this job for a long ti

    Come on!” Mason growled as he slammed into the lady from the back repeatedly while she moaned. “Yes, baby,” she screamed in response. Mason was in a hotel room and having fun with another one of his many chicks when his phone rang.At first, Mason ignored the call, but when it persisted, he decided to check it out. Mason put the lady on him to ride him herself and checked the phone.It was a call from the person he had hired to find out as much as she could about Josie, and it seemed that he now had an update for him. Mason reluctantly shifted the woman off him, and he went to the verandah to answer the call as he never let anyone listen to his conversations, no matter how close they were to him.“Hello, this better be good. You're interrupting my fun time, and I don't like this,” Mason said arrogantly.“Well, if you want, I could always call back when you are done with your trysts,” the man replied, unwilling to accept any nonsense from him.Mason was not happy about this, and he

    The laughter filled the room as she and the old lady discussed extensively. It was not a short discussion, resulting from her trying to be as lovely and caring as possible.One thing led to another, and they began discussing the Television shows she enjoyed watching in Josie’s house.It was not surprising that they had access to the same kind of movies, but it was shocking that the staff of the Gold’s could manage to find enough time to watch a movie.Knowing a little about Ryan and about how the workers feared him, it was shocking that they had the guts to dare to use their working hours for some fun.Although she had clarified that she got some favors over the others, it was still hard to imagine that Ryan would let such a thing go on under his roof.Nevertheless, the woman knew more about the movie than Claire herself, and it hurt her to know that.Josie had been the one to fall in love with the movie at first, and it was because of her that Claire had even gotten to find out about

    After a long ride, they got to the restaurant, and both got out. It was a restaurant known for privacy, so there was no risk of getting the information out to the public and being in the media's crosshairs.It was a safe restaurant used by the rich for their affairs, and it was known to keep whatever happened in it a secret.Sitting across from Bethany made Ryan feel different. It made him feel a different kind of peace. Although he did not like her and had no interest in her, It was nice to stay with someone he considered a friend in a nice restaurant like that one.Bethany was beaming with smiles and forcing him to do the same. Mason had advised him to go for dinner with Bethany as he felt he needed the female company of a person who wanted him.Ryan had been stubborn to accept this Idea, but in the end, he had been forced to eventually go for it as he realized that it was useless being tough and all.Although he was married, it was not the kind of marriage anyone would want or hope

    Claire held her breath and signed out of exhaustion. She knew she had no other choice but to carry out the task.After all, her brother's life was on stage here. He had already given her an ultimatum through a messageClaire now had limited time to get what he needed across to him. It was wild how demanding he was of her, but knowing fully what he had achieved, she had decided she would do it as he pleased.The earlier she could get her brother out of the crosshairs of a madman like Josie’s father, the better for herself and him.Claire took a deep breath; she was just about to get out of bed and try to get the picture of the document when she heard a faint knock on the door.Immediately, she panicked and asked who it was. A frail voice replied, and she saw that it was his,, the head of the household domestic servants.Claire was relieved and asked her to come in.

    “Yeah, but don't be so proud of yourself; you weren't great in the game either. After all, if not for the large sums of money you had access to, we both know you wouldn't have as many girls as you did at the time,” Ryan responded.Mason laughed, and so did Ryan. The point was simple. Although it was the truth, no one cared. As long as he managed to get the girls he wanted to do what he wanted, nothing else mastered a man like Mason.A few girls claimed to love him genuinely, but Mason never took any of them seriously as he felt they were only lying and wanted to keep him all to themselves.It was one of the disadvantages of that lifestyle and, ultimately, why Ryan stopped. It was because no matter how sincere the girl might look, there was always the risk that she was after you for the gold.Ryan’s reputation did not help, so it was the same in my adult years. Eventually, he returned to that lifestyle when I saw that the few girls he tried out disappointed himAnd then, when he couldn

    Ryan was not happy about this because he felt his pride was slightly damaged, but he took it in as Mason was a perfect friend of his and he was also an essential personality, and asides from all that, he was also here to see him and keep him company.“Welcome, man, have your seat,” Ryan said.“Thanks, Buddy,” Mason replied.“So, how has it been?” Ryan asked when they had both sat down.Mason sighed and took off his suit in his usual fashion. Mason wore a suit every day, and yet he was never ready to keep it on.As soon as he got the chance to get the suit off, he would always take it off without hesitation. It was his ritual, and naturally, Ryan was already used to it by now.“It's been a wild man. Last week, I met a mad lady by the name of Rebecca. She is everything young in a lady and more. Rebecca is so hot and crazy in the bedroom,” Mason said, causing the two to laugh.Ryan smiled and shook his head; only Mason would feel that was an appropriate answer.Mason was always praising

    “Calm down, why are you yelling? I'm the one who should be angry here, and I'm not even angry, but still, you're feeling tense. Is there a reason why you are acting up?” I asked.“No, I'm okay. I don't even know what you are talking about. I don't feel tense or bad,” he replied; there was anger in his voice, and she could hear it.“You need to calm down. I don't know what you're going through, but you have to stay strong. You can't lose yourself for any reason. If you do, what will become of you when you regain freedom?” Claire asked, trying to be subtle with him.It was not who she wanted to be. She was too far away from him to make him hate her when it was unnecessary.It was one thing to lose access to him and another to lose her love in his eyes when she looked into them, and she hoped she would.“I don't know. I'm sorry, I guess,” he replied dryly.“Do you know you're being bad right now, “ Claire asked angrily.“That's enough. If you have any other thing to say to him, then you

    Knowing the kind of man that he was, Claire knew he could want that, and with his last reply, she had already established the fact that he had a motive against their family.So many questions began going through her my. Why was he after the Golds? Was it for wealth or satisfaction?The idea that a family who was not as powerful as the Golds was trying to play rocks with them amazed her.It made her wonder why Josie was sent to marry Ruan in the first place if it was for a motive, and she was curious as to whether Josie was aware of the evil plan he was preparing or not. It wasn't too far-fetched to think such a thing. After all, she had been suicidal for a reason, as a forced marriage didn't even seem enough to be a reason anymore.“This is getting far more serious than I thought. Are you sure no cameras are waiting to get me in trouble the moment I get into that room?” Claire asked.“That's a good question. Let your mind be at rest; I made sure I took care of everything beforehand s

    Josie could not believe her ears; it was not that he said that he had not called because of her brother that bothered him; it was the fact that he was trying to send her on an errand after all that she had already done for him.These wealthy people could not have enough; they were never satisfied no matter what they made you sacrifice for them.“I can't believe you're asking me something like this. After all, I have done, it still isn't enough for you. Tell me something; if you did not want to tell me about this mission, would you have called to tell me about my brother's bruise?” Claire asked, knowing the answer to that question.“You see, I'm a businessman. If you know earned anything about business with that degree, you acquired as pathetic or was. If you at least paid attention to classes, you would know that customers love to return to their manufacturers for more when the deal is good.
